Chapter 528 Night Interview
"Sleeping." Seeing her turning her head to look for the maid, Mu Yan said without raising her head.
"Sleeping?" Huo Xi was a little unclear.
"I ordered their sleeping holes."
ah? Huo Xi glared at him first, then leaned closer: "Is there really a sleeping hole?" She looked curious.
"Do you want to try?" Mu Yan looked up at her leisurely.
Huo Xi shook his head desperately. Is she stupid, try it.
The room fell silent. Mu Yan flipped through the account book he had just received, nodded: "It seems that I earned more this year than last year."
Huo Xi raised his eyebrows, that's not true.
Seeing her smug look, Mu Yan raised the corner of her mouth, and then quickly suppressed it.
"Why do you love money so much?"
"Who doesn't love money! Money can make me feel safe."
sense of security? Mu Yan tilted his head, did he feel unsafe if he had less money?
"You have made a lot of money over the years, right? You are a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that now that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is holding a meeting, Guangfengshui can sit firmly in the first row."
Huo Xi looked complacent: "Is it easy for me? Before, we at Guangfengshui couldn't even enter the inner hall to participate in the meeting. We had to bring our own small bench to sit outside the hall, otherwise we would just stand." Tsk tsk, with today's situation, that is It's not easy at all.
"Yes. Now who dares to underestimate our Guangfengshui."
"Many people underestimate Guangfengshui. We only have two stores in the capital."
Which city along the canal does not have a Guangfengshui shop? This girl has always kept a low profile and is very nice. Mu Yan lowered his head and smiled.
This facial paralysis, are you laughing?
Huo Xi's eyes widened, thinking she was wrong, she leaned over to look... When she got closer, Mu Yan suddenly turned her head to look at her, looking straight into her dark eyes.
The two were so close that their noses were about to bump into each other. Mu Yan's breathing became heavier.
Gently, faintly, the fragrance hits. Is this what the world calls feminine fragrance?
Huo Xi was startled by the reflection of himself in Mu Yan's eyes, and jumped away. Her ears became hot, and she looked uncomfortable: "Why are you so close to me?"
Mu Yan calmed down his beating heart, and pretended not to look at the account book: "I am sitting upright, who suddenly came over?"
Huo Xi choked, and jumped: "This is my house, this is my room! Who the **** came in over the wall in the middle of the night! Are you a flower picker?"
As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he quickly shut up.
Mu Yan twitched the corners of her mouth, yes, in the middle of the night, when you climb over the wall and enter the boudoir, you are the flower you pick. Seeing her slightly disturbed breath, Mu Yan felt a little happy.
Seeing her rubbing her hands, her eyes flickered, and she got up and closed the window lattice.
"You!" Lonely man and widow, still close the window! Just as Huo Xi was about to jump, Mu Yan said lightly, "Your brother and step-sister have gone to report you to Mrs. Wu." She was shocked.
"What?"
Seeing Huo Xi's eyes widen, Mu Yan wanted to step forward to comfort her, so she moved her foot towards her and stopped again.
"She heard the conversation between your nurse and brother-in-law, so she stole money from her husband's family. She went all the way to Beijing, found out about the Duke's mansion, and approached Mrs. Wu. She informed Mrs. Wu and asked for a three-year-old house. One thousand taels of gold was used as a benefit. Now she is coaxed and raised in the house by the Wu family and Wu Youcai, and they are still waiting for Wu Youcai to bring her into the Wu family as an official wife in the next year."
Huo Xi was stunned after hearing this, and didn't react for a long time. After reacting, my mind was buzzing in confusion, and I couldn't figure it out for a while.
Collected and looked at Mu Yan: "You, what are you talking about, my nanny, nanny brother? Wu Youcai?" And Wu's?
How did he know?
Huo Xi couldn't think. She never told him about her past identity, how did he know? Did you just learn about it, or have you known it since the beginning?
Mu Yan looked at her, saw her blankly, and sighed, "I knew it from the beginning."
Helped her to sit on a chair, touched her hands, looked down, her fingers were soft, delicate, but cold. There is a brazier in the room, but my hands are freezing, I don't know whether it is cold or frightened.
Poured her a cup of hot tea, put it in her hand, and asked her to hold it in both hands.
Sitting on the chair next to her, looking at her: "I knew from the beginning that when you were six years old, you were running away in the woods with your infant brother in your arms. I happened to pass by and led you away from the pursuers."
"Later, the Marquis of Xincheng was awarded the title. I went to congratulate you, and I saw you at the door. You were dragging your uncle to watch the excitement. Your uncle was collecting money, but you stared at the British Duke with resentment. I Suspicions arose in my heart, and after checking, I found out what was going on.”
Huo Xi looked at him with disbelief.
It's so early. He knew his identity that early on. Is he still the benefactor of himself and Nian'er? I also cheated him of money, sold bald butter and treated him like a fat sheep.
"You entered the Huo family's household registration, and I helped to change the ages of their siblings. Now Wu Youcai is looking for a 16-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy in Beijing. I'm afraid it won't be found out. .”
Huo Xi sat up startled, "Wu Youcai is checking us?"
Seeing that the hot water in the cup spilled out and landed on her hands, she didn't even notice, Mu Yan sighed.
Looked around, found a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Don't worry, Wu Youcai won't be able to find out. Not to mention that your household registration is in Jiangning, even your age doesn't match. But..."
"But what?"
"However, Mrs. Gan stabbed your nanny out. Your nanny has been in contact with you frequently, and there are traces to be found. It is only a matter of time before Mrs. Wu uses the channel of the Duke's Mansion to find out about you."
Huo Xi got up and walked around the room.
The stories she asked Mr. Storyteller to tell hadn’t reached Zhang Fu’s ears yet, so why did Mrs. Wu find out about them?
What about Nian'er? And this big family, what should we do? Relying on the power of the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Wu would have to avoid it if she wanted to do something against them.
What will Guangfengshui do when the time comes? So many people are still supported by Guangfeng water.
And a nanny! Yes, where is the nanny?
"Where is my nanny, they captured my nanny?"
Huo Xi's hands trembled. Her nanny is pitiful, she has been poisoned and dumb by Mrs. Wu and the others, is she going to be poisoned again now? Eye sockets immediately turned red.
"I don't know what's going on in Songjiang. But I'm watching the Wu family and the Wu family now, and I see that they haven't had any contact with outsiders. Your nanny should be safe."
"Wu Shi and the others have no contact with outsiders, so it doesn't mean my nanny is safe. If they catch my nanny, they don't necessarily have to take her to the capital for disposal. Are they only in Songjiang for interrogation?" Huo Xi couldn't sit still.
Worried about the safety of the nanny and the nanny, my heart is restless.
"Don't worry, I have sent people to Songjiang immediately. We only need to keep an eye on Wu Shi and Wu Youcai, and we will know the situation in Songjiang. Just wait patiently."
Huo Xi couldn't ask him why he knew her identity earlier, but pretended not to know, what was he thinking. Now she is only worried about her nanny in Songjiang. Can't wait to fly over immediately.
But people from the Wu family have all gone to Songjiang, and it may be too late for this meeting, so they can only wait for news from Mu Yan.
"You said Wu Youcai was investigating us?" Thinking of Wu Youcai, Huo Xi narrowed his eyes.
